RestEase — Eye-Care & Break Reminders

About

Most break reminders just flash a timer and leave you wondering what to actually do. RestEase is
different: every break is a guided exercise that shows you exactly how to rest your eyes, loosen up,
and reset — and it's smart enough to stay quiet when you step away or head into a meeting.

100% private and offline. No account, no network, no tracking. Everything stays on your computer.

WHAT IT REMINDS YOU TO DO
• Rest your eyes — the optometrist-backed 20-20-20 rule (every 20 min, look 20 ft away for 20 sec)
• Stretch — rotating neck, shoulder, wrist and side stretches
• Hydrate — gentle water nudges with a glasses-per-day counter
• Fix posture — quick "sit tall" and chin-tuck resets
• Stand & move — get the blood flowing with a short walk
• Breathe — a calming box-breathing animation (inhale 4 · hold 4 · exhale 4 · hold 4)

GUIDED BREAK SCREEN (the difference)
When a break is due, RestEase opens a calm full-screen coach with a countdown ring and step-by-step
instructions for that exercise — not just a number ticking down. Rotate exercises automatically so it
never gets stale.

SMART SCHEDULING THAT RESPECTS YOUR FLOW
• Work-hours window — no reminders before or after your day
• Auto-pause when idle — RestEase never nags an empty chair and resumes when you're back
• Focus mode — silence breaks for a meeting with one tap
• Snooze — 5 / 10 / 15 / 30 minutes
• Strict mode — hide "Skip" until the break really ends

STAY MOTIVATED
A live dashboard (side panel) shows your next break, today's breaks and glasses, your current streak,
and a 7-day chart. Quick controls live in the toolbar popup.

MADE YOUR WAY
• Presets: 20-20-20 Focus, Full Wellness, Pomodoro + Stretch, Hydration — or build your own
• Per-reminder intervals and break lengths
• Light / dark / system theme, soft chimes, keyboard shortcuts
• Export & import your settings as a local backup

PERMISSIONS, KEPT NARROW

and sidePanel (the dashboard). No website access, no content scripts, no remote code — ever.
